Laser theory for opotomechanical limit cycles in the quantum regime — •Niels Lörch and Klemens Hammerer — Institute for Theoretical Physics, Leibniz University, 30167 Hannover, Germany

We study the dynamics of an optomechanical system consisting of a driven optical cavity that is coupled to a mechanical oscillator via radiation pressure force. In such systems the classical nonlinear dynamics can give rise to self-induced oscillations. We use laser theory to derive an effective equation of motion to study the quantum properties of these oscillations.
